I miss counting down the hours to kick off, waiting for the line ups, watching the pre match shows etc, all the things leading up to the game days before it. Desperately searching for a channel thats broadcasting the match, making sure I dont have anything else planned for during the game. And if I did miss it somehow the struggle to get the score from somewhere asap. Then the tension on match day itself, how every misplaced pass or missed chance drew a moan, how every goal made me jump and run around the house. The euphoria after a good victory, how I couldnt get over a defeat for days after. I dont even know our kick off times mostly now, cant bother with checking what our starting line up is, or whether Im able to watch the match or not, and sometimes not even checking the score for hours afterwards. If I do watch the match its mostly like a zombie. If we win great, if not what does it matter? There's hardly any feeling left.

Even if its getting fat, at least he's got an aim

I can see where you are coming from. But players like Ben Arfa require a certain type of man management. Something our coaching staff and manager are completely incapable of. Shola and Gosling are about their level.

He's probably put on weight deliberately in an attempt to stop being Pardewed.

Spot on Ant.

Meyler to present a bouquet before the game, and a guard of honour at the end from the journos.

Perhaps, but Im not too sure. I think, along with the injuries etc, the style of play at Chelsea wasnt really suited to him. Narrow pitch and all that. Everything's just gone wrong for him there. Cant remember the last time a player that good has suddenly looked so average after moving clubs.

Doing us proud again Alan

I suppose Wigan are also in a much stronger position financially than we are

Shocking post match comments again. What an absolute turd this guy is. Fact he hasnt resigned despite the utter shambles his team has been this year says it all. Absolutely zero self respect.

Beyond words. Like someone said the fact we're fielding Shola and Gosling says it all. Over Ben Arfa. Lost whatever little repsect I had left for Pardew. The guy is a sad, pathetic incompetent coward of a man who shouldn't be managing a sunday league side.

Utterly depressing but true.

To be fair Torres at his prime at Liverpool was unstoppable. Most complete centre forward at the time imo. Game at Old Trafford when he ripped apart Vidic who was in his prime comes to mind amongst others. 50M for a club like Chelsea didnt seem to much at the time. Too bad for them they didnt get half of the player he was at Anfield.

Lets just not compare Pardew to Simone. Just no.

This really.

Come on Dortmund! Surely they cant do it again!

Pretty damning evidence that.

Beat me to it.

Crest fallen Arsenal players

You think we will score?

Not a chance of that happening. We'll lose by 4 or 5 at least.

Absolutely ridiculous the way we've treated him. Not saying he doesnt have any faults, but we bring him on when the games basically lost, and then expect miracles. Not to mention the set up and tactics of our team are so bloody bad he mostly doesnt have many other options rather than to try and go it alone or take a shot from distance. Playing Gosling yesterday really should be the last straw. Hope he can find himself a good club in the summer.

Considering some of the stats above, and considering the kind of owner we have, its a miracle we are still top 10. Or is it a matter of time before it all blows up in our face again? Im truly fearful about the upcoming season.
